Conceived as updating and expanding J.D. Bruce's monumental Evolution of Arthurian Romance from the Beginning down to the Year 1300 (1923), this volume brings together thirty scholars in a collaborative survey that goes beyond the scope of the earlier work, particularly in the detailed elucidation of Welsh texts, the in-depth study of the origins of the Grail legends and much freer expression of controversial issues. Outstanding Arthurian scholar Roger Sherman Loomis provides a Prologue and Epilogue and several of the 41 essays that make up the book. Other contributors include Kenneth Hurlstone Jackson, O.H. Jarman, Jean Frappier, Eugene Vinevar, & Laura Hibbard Loomis.
